Alec Peirce you tubeI got my OW certification earlier this month, and I have now book a 10 dive package for the beginning of February. Extremely excited to the point of being unable to focus on much else, including work.
What can I be doing in the time before my dives?
Ideally this would be to get me in a better position to take advantage of the dives, but really anything to stop obsessing pointlessly would be good. I have watched every single youtube video about scuba. I have read all of reddit r/Scuba, r ScubaDiving, and r/ScubaGear. I'm working my way through scubaboard. I am obsessively and circularly researching dive computers. I am building up a list of accessories to buy.
What else can I do that is useful?

learn underwater water navigation using a compass ( plenty of video about it) and calculate your sac and rmv this will keep you busy for the next two months.
